Šodolovci (Serbian Cyrillic: Шодоловци,[6] Hungarian: Páznán) is a village and a municipality in Osijek-Baranja County in eastern Croatia. In the seven villages of the Šodolovci Municipality, there were 1,653 inhabitants at the time of the 2011 Census.
The landscape of the Šodolovci Municipality is marked by the Pannonian Basin plains and agricultural fields of maize, wheat, common sunflower and sugar beet.
Name
[edit]The name of the village in Croatian or Serbian is plural.
Geography
[edit]Šodolovci Municipality is divided into two parts with the village Palača and the largest village Silaš constituting an exclave separated from the rest of municipality by Ernestinovo Municipality and the village of Laslovo on its closest point. In addition, Silaš Exclave is in itself de facto pene-enclave as the main road between Palača and Silaš goes through the village of Korođ in neighboring Vukovar-Srijem County. Within the main part of the municipality villages Ada and Paulin Dvor are pene-enclaves. Local road between Šodolovci and Ada is not asphalted which is limiting its use during the bad weather conditions and is reorienting transportation over the Ernestinovo Municipality. There is no bridge on Vuka river between Paulin Dvor and the rest of municipality within its boundaries with nearest roads going through Vladislavci or Ernestinovo Municipality. State road D518 passes through the village of Ada. Other county roads include Ž4109 and Ž4130. Local L209 railway between Vinkovci–Gaboš–Osijek passes through the municipality for a couple of hundreds of meters next to the Palača village yet there is no local station as the village is using local station in Laslovo with which it is physically connected. The territory of the municipality is almost completely flat as it is part of the Pannonian Plain. Southern part of the municipality is mostly covered in forest.
History
[edit]Most of the villages in Šodolovci Municipality are, in comparison with other settlements in Slavonia, relatively new settlements. The village of Šodolovci was originally a pustara, a Pannonian type of hamlet.[7] Village Ada was established in 1921, Palača in 1920, Paulin Dvor in 1922, Petrova Slatina in 1922, Silaš in 1922 and Šodolovci in 1922.[8] The only exception is the village of Koprivna which was established in 1371.[8] Villages in Šodolovci Municipality were established after the dissolution of Austria-Hungary after World War I and the establishment of Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. Some of the military veterans of the Serbian Army who participated in resistance during the 1914 Serbian Campaign of World War I and in the 1918 Salonica front great Allied offensive were rewarded with land grants at the area of present-day Šodolovci Municipality.[8] In turn, Šodolovci became a colonist settlement established in the course of the land reform in interwar Yugoslavia.[9]

Two former Croatian soldiers were convicted for their role in the killings and were sentenced to 15 and 11 years, respectively.
